Mississippi State edged ahead 7 to 3 in the 3rd quarter. Mississippi State’s interim head coach, Greg Knox is coaching a different playbook than the air raid mad famous by former coast Mile Leach. . He was named head coach after coach, Zach Arnett was fired with a 5-6 record. Arnett did not last a full season, he succeeded Mike Leech when Leach passed away suddenly on Dec 12, 2022.
